My youngest brother lives in Seattle. He headed for downtown early today. When it was obvious Seattle would win the SB, I tried calling him, but he didn’t answer his phone. Now I know why–the fireworks and the partying in the streets! I am so glad Seattle won!

This guy Russell Wilson played at North Carolina State for several years, he also played baseball. But the State team wanted him to quit baseball and focus on football. So Wilson went to Wisconsin and played for a year.

“Harvin’s touchdown, as did a safety on the first play of the game, came 12 seconds into the half — a symmetry that Seattle’s fans, the self-named 12s, surely found fitting on a day when everything went the Seahawks’ way.”

Someone should write a song about that :) … 12 is the loveliest number in the world …. :)

Just picture 12′ tall, inflatablefootball player figures out on people’s front lawns, like Santa Claus, only wearing Seahawks uniform!! For real, I kid you not!! They will probably leave them up for a while now!!

Just a little diversion from Seattle celebration–here’s a little test to determine which president you are most like. Husband was most like President Obama and for some reason I came out as Thomas Jefferson. Who knew?

I’m so envious! I got Thomas Jefferson. Coulda’ been worse. I kinda knew a few questions in I wouldn’t be my Prez. He’s sooo much more even-tempered that I am. Mostly, I am fiercely partisan and have very little patience for those other fools. PBO would be ashamed of me, but he gives me that North Star to reach for. See, that’s why I’m so partisan! Love you, PBO!

Heartily concur with your tweet and remarks upthread about convergence. Many good things happened today.
Not he least of which was our President pointing out repeatedly that Americans believed some really dumb s–t because that was what Fox has been feeding them
And, by the way, private ACA up to 3 million now Medicaid 6 million and kids on their parents plans another 3 million. Billo not entertained by those numbers at all.

My half-emoprog guest just left. He really thinks the Dems will deserve to lose if they do in the midterms. He’s all about the NSA. Ugh. And his g/f is a sheer airhead. I need another drink. (I don’t, I promised myself not to get soused tonight.)

Obviously, I recognize the significance because of the thug comment about Sherman. But the other significance, aside from this incident and big win, that I’ve noticed lately is that the old “We’re going to Disney” has totally been replaced by “We’re going to the White House,” since President Obama came to town! Or maybe I only hear PBO-related comments!

Somebody was asking if Manning congratulated Wilson. Here’s the photo.

The continents are North America and South America, and the languages spoken on those two continents are English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Viet Namese, Yiddish, Norwegian, Cajun, many creoles, Arabic, many more…….we speak all languages on these two continents. The major language of the United States of America…….just one country in the Americas…..is English…..that is the name of the language, whether those people like it or not. The language name is English, not American…..that ignorance chaps me!!!

I have a Canadian friend who gets very upset when U.S. citizens feel they are the only ones who can be called Americans. Canadians speak the same language we do, except in Quebec, and that language is English, not American.

If you add up the speakers of languages other than English on the two continents, I think English is NOT the majority language in America.

True, true. And if a RWNJ is asking someone to speak American then here in the US it would be asking them to speak whatever Native American tribe language existed. Not that foreign English language brought over here a few hundred years ago.

I am glad the media, newstainers, and pundits did not make an issue that one QB is white more experienced and the other is AA and a novice. I guess they did that once and wound up having egg all over their faces.
